The Center for Material Culture Studies is pleased to offer support on a competitive basis for eligible University of Delaware graduate students to participate in a collections–based seminar or workshop during summer, 2018. Up to $750 per awardee is available through the National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant.
